cyst

The TV presenter, 57, underwent surgery in November after a colloid cyst was found during a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work.

"But there wasn't much connection with other main organs like the liver or kidneys," Dr Krishna said, adding that they also found a large cyst in the teen's abdomen.

Pippa has been left with life-affecting pain due to the cyst's impact on her organs, as well as nerve damage in her leg, which she now has to treat daily.

Concerned fans claimed she had throat cancer, but her representative, Charlie Dougiello, clarified that the surgery was to remove a benign cyst.

She became so desperate, she crowdfunded for an operation that removed a benign brain cyst.
